“大踏步撤退”与莫言的新历史小说创作

"Retreat by Leaps and Bounds" and Mo Yan's Writing of New Historical Novels

莫言系列新历史小说创作的"撤退"有一个由自发到自觉、由无意识的自然流露到"有意识地大踏步撤退"过程。这种"撤退"有利于激发作者艺术想象和创造激情,拓展艺术思维;对作品的历史观念、思想意蕴及价值立场等也影响深远。同时,它与作者的童年记忆、个人体验和现代派艺术融为一体,超越了以往文学创作对传统文化的借鉴运用,开辟了诡异独创的现代艺术奇观。

The theme of ＂retreat＂ in Mo Yan＇ s series of New Historical Novels is a process of ＂conscious retreat by leaps and bounds＂ developed from unconsciousness to consciousness, and from voluntariness to . This kind of ＂retreat＂ is good for inspiring the author＇ s artistic imagination and igniting his writing passion to develop an artistic thinking mode, which exerts a great influence on his works＇ historical perception, ideological implications, and standpoint of values. Meanwhile, this ＂retreat＂, the author＇s memory of his childhood, his personal experience, and modernistic art are integrated into a whole. As a result, it means more than just a traditional role for reference that literary writing used to serve in culture. Rather, it develops an original form of wondrous modernistic art.
